100 Days of school

-

I'm not sure why the 100th day of school is so carefully observed, unless the teachers are secretly counting down the days until Summer (I know I am), but either way I just can't believe that it's March, and we are already ALMOST done with this school year. So, for our own celebration, here is a picture of the first day of school. Since I never posted it when it was at all relevant.... And here we are after 100 more days of homework and 100 more gluten free and dairy free lunches....looking 100 times smarter.....

Goals versus Resolutions

-
Have you ever set a resolution, only to have it turn into a dis-illusion by March? Me, too. That's why I set goals rather than resolutions. Sure, I may jot down a word that I want to focus on for the year, something like "love" or "grace"., but I don't obsess over resolutions- type ideas.
